How to Avoid Some Common Mistakes that Can Spoil Your Money Making Plans for the Next Holiday

Making money online during any major holiday season can be a breeze if you do your research and planning ahead of time. You want to give your readers a feeling of celebration of professionalism when they visit your website or blog. First impressions are important and with only 3 to 7 seconds to grab the attention of the average Internet shopper they become imperative.

You want everything related to the shopping experience to run without a hitch. Any problems that arise during the shopping experience will be a direct reflection on your business. I hope everyone agrees that this experience should only be enhanced.

Optimizing Your Website for Traffic Rush:

Optimizing your website for the holiday rush would mean securing a greater bandwidth for traffic from your host company. As a rule increase your bandwidth 15% to allow more traffic access compared to the last holiday.

Buying Anti-Virus and Anti Hacking Protection:

Service providers like Norton Anti Virus provide protection plans for websites and their databases. You just pay a monthly or yearly fee to have your servers and databases protected from any viral threats. Similarly buying SSL certificates ensures that your website is safe for monetary transactions. This is a must for all e-commerce sites and blogs whether big or small.

Provide Dedicated Customer Service:

People like to feel special and stress free during the holidays and what better way to keep that stress away by offering customer service. There is always someone to guide them if anything goes awry and with the holiday shopping frenzy something’s got to go a little haywire.

Creating a Commerce Based Newsletter:

Using a Newsletter to promote your inventory is a great way to keep your targeted demo updated on what is going on with your business. What new sales are coming up and how they can make the most out of your products are a great way to keep your existing traffic coming back for more.

Using events to Promote Your Products:

Most people like to celebrate the different events that go along with the holidays, like the office Christmas party or the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. You want to include yourself within that celebratory spirit by holding holiday-centered events to promote your products.

Using all of the above methods to build credibility will reflect directly and positively on your bottom line this coming holiday season.
